Yep, it's a very comfy gun to hold. Accurate, simple, and has the additional grip safety.

And after every bit of metal on the gun starts to rust the first month you own it, you can ship it back to Springfield for a re-finish!

XD-40 Service and Sub Compact here. I even have the 357 Sig conversion barrel for the service, Sub Compact has the Canyon Creek trigger job (very nice). So far they have both been very reliable.

lol yep.

I'm so glad now I got the stainless. The only blued parts are the controls and the finish on them is halfway worn off. But I knew this would not be a "looker".

The gun's ugly as sin anyway.

Euc,
I hate to say this, but if you're talking about the two tone, it's not stainless. I bought my two tone thinking it had a stainless slide, but it isn't stainless; it's just a bright, metallic finish.

I have a XD 9 mm sub-compact for sale with fiber-optic/night sights, 2 mags - a 10 round and a 15 round, and the case. Price is $450. I've only had it for a few months but decided to go with my Taurus PT145.

Can I tempt you?

I know - I felt the same way when I found out. I just kept lookin' at that slide for "stainless" to show up on it somewhere.

The thing is, not many people know it's not stainless.

Grrr that ticks me off. Had me fooled. I'd have just bought the blued one if I'd known that.

Oh well, it does mean my gun is different from all the other ones and it does look better at least.

There's a local guy here who will put any kind of finish you want on a slide for $70 so if it's ever really a problem there's your solution.

I've shot an XD40 with the ported barrel and really liked it. I'm thinking more and more that I might have to pick up a service size and a sub-compact. the SC comes first, because I'm thinking that instead of the G26 for an angle carry bug.

Anyway, that'll be a few years down the road I think.
